There was a ru moor at Amelia that a British Expedition W 23 fit ting out its some of the Vest India Islands, for the purpose of taking possession of the Floridas. At Amelia the most shameful outrages have been committed by AURY'S troops ; several murders have been perpetrated by them with impunity— neither life or property were safe if within the reach of these freebooters and brigands. CONGRESS.—IN SENATE, DEc. 15. The following Motions were laid on the Table for consideratio“ : By Mr. WILLIAMS, Of Missis,ippi. Resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire what provisions are ne cessary to give effect to the Laws of the United States, within the State of Mississippi. By Mr. TROUP. Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to cause to be laid before the Senate such information as he may possess, touch ing the execution of so much of the first Article of the late Treaty of Peace and Amity between his Britannic Majesty and the United States of Ame rica, as relates to the Restitution of Slaves, and which has not heretofore been communicated. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, DEC. 15. AMELIA ISLAND AND GALVESTON. The following Message was received from the President of the United States by J. J. MONROE, his Secretary : " To the House of Representatives, " In 'compliance with the Resolution of the House of Representatives of the Bth of this month, I transmit, for the information of the House, a Report from the Secretary of State, with the do cuments referred to in it, containing all the infor mation of the Executive which it is proper to dis close, relative to certain persons, who lately took possession of Amelia Island and Galveston. " JAMES MO ROE. " Washington, Dec. 15, 1817." A Letter from Washington, received in town this morning, dated December 17, states, that L'rd SELKIRK arrived there yesterday, on his way to Montreal. His Lordship was in good health. Letters from New-York, received this morn ing; dated December 20, state that the troops of the United States continued to concentrate in the Southern States. We must again caution our Readers against too confident a reliance on the intelligence from South America, on either side, as they ' both deal in gross exaggerations. We are inclined, however, to believe that the accounts from the Royalists are more entitled to confidance than those of their opponents. The revolters have suffered much by warfare and by treachery. Their Leaders are chiefly desperate men, whose interest it is to deceive them, or by overweening enthusiasts, who contrive to deceive themselves. It is certain, that with whatever sanguine hope the Revolters began their career, that hope has been damped by many untoward circumstances, and we are strongly dis posed to believe, that the negociation understood to be carrying on, will be satisfactory to them, in restoring good order, and probably an augmenta tion of commercial advantages. We are much concerned to learn, that the Right Hon. J. H. ADDINGTON is SIII detained at his seat in Somersetshire, by Mrs. ADDINGTON'S con tinued illness, which occasioned his sudden de parture from London some weeks. She is, we understand, under the care of Dr. CKRRICK, an eminetia Physician of Clifton. WINDSOR, JAN. 18.—This morning the Royal Family attended Divine service in the private chapel in the Castle. This being the Anniver sary of the celebration of the QUEEN'S birth-day, and it being Sunday, it will be celebrated here to-morrow, by a grand ball in the Town-hall. BRIGHTON, JAN. 16.—1 t is now fully known that the PRINCE REGENT will not open the ensn ing.Session of Parliament in person. The depar ture of his Royal Highness for Carlton-house will be about the 10th of next month, as it is ex pected that a levee will be held on the 12th, and a drawing-room on tl►e ISth of February. The REGENT has been confined to the exercise of walking and riding within the Pavilion bounda ries. Yesterday being the anniversary on which Her MAJESTY'S birth-day has been usually celebrated, the morning was ushered in with the' ringing of bells, and which continued during the day ; there were also other demonstrations of rejoicings. Mr. WALSH, the King's Messenger, arrived in town a few days since, with dispatches from Russia. Yesterday the Duke of GLOUCESTER attended Divine Service at St. George's church. The country ship Wellington, Captain BROWN, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday evening, from Madras, with the 86 h regiment on board, last (roan the Cape of Good Hope, whence she sailed on the 7th November. The following is an extract of a letter received on Saturday from New Ross, dated the 11th inst. —" The Express, COPLEY, of and from St. John's, Newfoundland, is arrived hero in fifteen days ; she had on board 230 passengers and their baggage, sent home by the Governor of St. John's. During the passage six of the passengers (lied of typhus fever, one since their arrival, and two more are dangerously ill in -the fever-house here." POETRY. PROSPECTIVE EPITAPH. Here lies a Wight, stil'd Nobte upon Earth, But whose nobility belong'tl to birth . No titles he by merit could have gain'd, And what be had his vanity profan'd ; Be ne'er by bounty serv'd one useful plan, • And *Horses he befriended more than Man. At length, at once to make his folly known, He prop'd SEDITION, BLASPHEMY, and Homy.. Qutere—To which of the Noble Subscribers is this character intended to apply. THE LATE tilsHOV OF' LANDAFF. FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOII,-Your liberal and generous feel ing towards the memory of the above-named. Di vine, influenced yon, I presume, to express the sentiments you did respecting his Lordship's cha racter in your Paper of Saturday night. To he candid, Sir, you have, it is clear, lit tle knowledge of the true character of the Lite Doctor WATsosi. He was a pluralist of the worst cast ; and soon, very soon, will his character be truly displayed to The Public. He was Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, worth at least 10001. a year ! This Office he filled by Deputy; what he gave his Deputy 1 do not know, but I recollect very well, that in the periodical orations delivered by this Deputy for his principal, JOHN CALVIN, the illus trious CALVIN, the first, best, and tritest expounder of the Scriptures, was his constant theme of adu lation, though not always in the most chaste and elegant Latin. His Lordship also held a Sinecure Rectory in %Vales of considerable value, in addi tion to the See of Landaff. He had likewise other preferment which 1 do not at this moment recollect. 1 shall, however, feel obliged to some of your Cambridge Correspondents to inform me, through the medium of your excellent Paper, how often the late Bishop resided in the University atter he became Regius Professor of Divinity. Indeed, to say whether, in the estimation of Cam bridge men, he is entitled to the high character given him, for purity of principle and correctness of conduct, by The Morning Chronicle, and other venal Prints. VERAX. Chapter Coffee House. KING'S THEATRE. Miss CORRI, of whom Report had spoken in thellighest terms as likely to eclipse even CATA. LANI, made her first appearance, on Saturday last, at this Theatre, as The Countess, in Le Nozze di Figaro. It was evident that her friends were much too sanguine, for, though much allowance ought to be made for the timidity naturally attendant on youth, appearing before one of the most intelli gent audiences that this, or perhaps any country can produce, yet there was certainly no indica tion of those transcendant merits which rumour had assigned to her. Her voice is pleasing in tone, but not extensive or powerful. She sings with feeling, but with no great expression. As an actress we will not decide on her merits at pre sent.. It is sufficient that her manners were un ffeved and easy. Her figure is genteel, slid i her face is not handsome, it is nat uninteresting. FoDon, who had previously performed the Coun tess with success, on this occasion took the part of Susanna, which she supported with spirit and hu mour, and the airs of which she gave with great taste, feeling, and judgment. There was several encores. AMBROGETTI, if by no means a first rate singer, is a spirited and effective actor. He performed The Count very well, and NALDI dis played his humorous non chalance in Figaro. As we can ;ay little in favour of the new ballet, we shall say nothing. There. was no (lance between the acts. The house was crowded; and made a very brilliant appearance. CORN-EXCHANGE, JAN. 19.—We had but few fresh Arrivals this morning, principally from Essex and Kent, and the Tuttle in general dull ; Wheat is from Is. to 2s. per quarter lower than this (lay week ; Fine Barley, Malt, and Oats sold on the same terms as this day week, but buyers in general appear to be waiting for further supplies ; in Pease and Beans there is no alteration. The ship Grace, DAVIE (with Officers, passen gers, bound to South America), which was seiz ed at Cowes, has been liberated, and arrived at the Motherbank, preparatory to proceeding for St. Thomas's, the first fair wind.—Major Locx- Ylift, and the other Officers who had engaged their passage in the above ship, and were subsequently concerned in a duel, at Cowes, with Lieutenant SUTTON COCHRANE, it is ascertained, sailed for South America in a brig, a few days after the fatal .event took place. Lieut. EDWARD BAILEY, who was killed in the duel last Monday, was buried yesterday at St. Anne's, Soho : the body was followed to the grave by a great number of his brother officers, many of whom were maimed, having lost a leg or an arm. The deceased was but 26 years of age. A rencontre of an unpleasant nature took place yesterday, about tour o'clock, in Hyde Park, be tween Mr. T. CLEARY and Mr..J. W. PERKINS, the former on foot, the latter on horseback. Mr. Cleary vaulted over the railing which encloses the ride, as Mr. Perkins passed by, and sans ceremoni commenced horsewhipping Mr. Perkins with all his might, and afterwards resumed his walk in the Park, and Mr. Perkins rode on. Shortly after Mr. Perkins dismounted, and followed Mr.Cleary, when a scuffle ensued, Mr. Perkins with his fists and Mr. Cleary with his horsewhip, when several Genthnen interfered, and prevented - any fur ther hostility. We understand this disagreeable occurrence took place in consequence of Mr. Per kins having refused to give Mr. Cleary a meeting, the latter supposing himself to !lava been insulted a few days since by Mr. Perkins.--(British Press.) SHIP NEWS. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 18.—Yesterday arrived the Cornwallis from India ;' sailed front Madras the 17th August ; left' the Cape the 14th November.

KINSALE, JAN. 12.—The Caledonia schooner, of and from Prince Edward's Island, STEWARD Master, with pine and birch timber, for Cork, is lost near the Oldllead.--Crew saved.

NEWHAVEN, JAN. 17.—There is every reason to fear that a vessel has foundered to the west ward of this port, as the doors of a cabin cup hoard with brass hinges, the gilded moulding of a cabin, anti various pieces of deck and plank, bad driven on shore. MARGATE, JAN. 17.—The Sloop Wellington, from Rouen for London, has been on shore, but got off again. Several boats have been•off to the wrecks in the Knock ; they report that tbe Argo has entirely disappeared, and that the Vittoria re• mains on her beam ends. PLYMOUTH, JAN. I6.—Came in the George, from Liverpool for the Brazils, and the Bedford, from Amsterdam for St. Thotnasib—the lattra leaky. CowEs, JAN:IB.—Nt in the Christiana, bound to Batavia, and time Sir Sidney Smith, from Bal• timore. JOHN GUNNING, Esq., one of the Surgeons of St. George's Hospital, has been appointed to succeed the late Sir JAMES EARLE, as . Surgeon Extraordinary to his Majesty. Rear-Admiral HARvEv's period of service as Commander-in• Chief on the Leeward Island Station being expired, it is said he may be shortly expected home, although we have aloi beard of any other gallant Officer being yet appointed to succeed hint. It is expected, that early in the next Sessions of Parliament a Bill will be brought in, to giv• the Justices of the County of Kent jurisdiction, in certain cases, within tie Cinyie Ports, in ordec that the Laws of the Country may be promptly and impartially administered and executed. The outt ages whicti• have so long disgraced the Town of Deal and its vicinity, require the immediate attention of the Executive Government. The attempts now making by the inferior Master House Builders, who are so intimately connected with, and in a great measure dependent on, the Norway and Prussian Importers of Wood, to prejudice the Public against the use of Timber froth the King's Colonies, deserve the severest re probation. The story of the decay of a house in Connaught-place is one of the miserable attempts alluded to. It might as well be represented that the deeay which has taken place in several of the Public Edifices, Theatres, &c. were wholly attri butable to the same cause. It is, however, well known, that these erections were built with Memel and other Baltic Timber; yet in a few yews they chewed symptoms of dry -rot, and were obliged, at a great expellee, to be repaired. Great uneasiness prevails at Dartmouth, Poole, and other places, interested in the Fisheries ea the coasts of British North America, from the uncertainty which prevails as to the nature of the negociation now carrying on between Lord CAS-. TLEREAGH and the American Government. The assurance given by his Lordship, in the House of Commons, to Sir J. NEWPORT, was that the Ame ricans would be considered 1, ith reference to these Fisheries as all other foreigners, and under that impression large Establishments have been formed by British Subjects, who must he totally ruined by British Subjects, who must be totally ruined if the Americans are allowed to fish as formerly, --- within the Bays, Creeks, and on the coasts of British North America. It is pre,umed that his Lordship is not prepared to let in Yffeigners of all descriptions. If not, why are americans to be so highly favoured ?
